So i bought my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins 2 months ago and i went for some light off roading last week. I went through an area that was about 3ft deep of water and my tail lights looked like fish tanks when i was done all bulbs burnt out so i changed them all and everything was good except today o got pulled over for having my passenger side parking light out. i changed the bulb and no luck then i noticed my front one is out to so i did some research and learned about the dreaded TIPM (which if i knew about i would've bought an 05 instead). So i figure i need a new one i refuse to pay for a reflash $120cor new tipm $900 every time i have an electrical problem. My question is What would it take to install a 2005 fuse box instead of a new tipm in my truck????? Thanks in advance.

 

I don't exactly thinly its possible since the tipm controls just bout every thing electrical in the truck.. have you checked the fuse.. yes there is a fuse for your right tail lights and if you have factory wired cab lights its wired into that same fuse? Just an idea

 

WOW Thank you i wasn't aware there was actually a dedicated fuse for parking lights i went outside and sure enough it was burnt swapped it out and now everything is in working order Thanks !!!

 

Yup no problem!
